But it does say that “God exalted him” that God “gave him the name” and it was to be “to the glory of God the Father.” Also what translation are you quoting that has Lord in all capitals in this verse. I checked over 60 translations and could not find one. Saying Jesus “is LORD(YHWH)” is not the truth.
Please tell me what translation you are quoting that reads Jesus Christ is LORD(YHWH)?Have you forgotten who the Truth is???
Jesus said: "I am the Way the Truth the Life, no man comes to the FATHER but thru ME."
Therefore God/Elohim Father exalted Him to the highest place
and gave Him the Name above all names, that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD(YHWH),
to the glory of God(Elohim) the Father.
Notice the scripture does not say to the glory of YHWH but to Elohim the FATHER.
Who foretold this long ago?
Who announced it from ancient times?
Was it not I, YHWH?
There is no other Elohim but Me,
a righteous El and Savior;
there is none but Me. Turn to Me and be saved,
all the ends of the earth;
for I am El,
and there is no other.
By Myself I have sworn;
truth has gone out from My mouth,
a word that will not be revoked:
Every knee will bow before Me,
every tongue will swear allegiance.
Isaiah 45:21-22
We have already been told who the Savior is that we are to turn to to be Saved = the LORD/YHWH = JESUS the Name above all names.
Jesus Christ the Lord = Yeshua HaMashiach the Yahweh
I check this ongoing thread every couple days. It is amazing. I believe that Jehovah will soon, through his Son and reigning King, expose and destroy all false religion. What a relief.
Please tell me what translation you are quoting that reads Jesus Christ is LORD(YHWH)?
A small point - it was Paul, not Timothy, who wrote that. 1 Timothy is a letter from Paul to Timothy.As Timothy pointed out before, God is immortal, He cannot die. Jesus on the other hand is DEAD.
A small point - it was Paul, not Timothy, who wrote that. 1 Timothy is a letter from Paul to Timothy.
Here's another verse confirming Jesus was dead - Romans 1:3-4 (WEB):
(3) concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,
(4) who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,
"Firstborn of all creation" = you are clueless as to what this means and therefore you believe lies from the cult 'watchtower/jw.
jw's and all who reject the Gospel and ALL that the LORD spoke when HE was on this earth will give an account on their knees before HIM.
Michael is a archangel that bows his head, kneels and worships YHWH Jesus Christ = Hebrews ch1
God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
For to which of the angels did He ever say:
“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”?
And again:
“I will be to Him a Father,
And He shall be to Me a Son”?
But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says:
“Let all the angels of God worship Him.”
And of the angels He says:
“Who makes His angels spirits
And His ministers a flame of fire.”
But to the Son He says:
“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”
And:
“You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
They will perish, but You remain;
And they will all grow old like a garment;
Like a cloak You will fold them up,
And they will be changed.
But You are the same,
And Your years will not fail.”
But to which of the angels has He ever said:
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”?
Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?
What dont you understand about the term--ALL CREATION? It cannot be twisted-all creation occurred at the beginning.

Let's examine the Apostle John's words "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1, in Greek "Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ Λόγος, καὶ ὁ Λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν Θεόν, καὶ Θεὸς ἦν ὁ Λόγος").nope, this is more confusion, all angels and heavenly beings are gods, saying Jesus is a god would be the same as saying He is a son of the Most High. believing another god exist is not having another god, worshiping another god, as a god, is having another god. Jesus teaches we are to worship the Father, Jesus is the mediator between us and the Father. you cant have a mediator for yourself, like trins believe, the Most High mediates to the Most High, which makes no sense at all.
Thomas didnt proclaim Jesus to be the Most High, your trinity doctrine is blinding you again, lost count of how many times this has been explained. but lets say that Thomas is making this proclamation, in front of the other Apostles, why did they not confirm this, yet later on in the same book we see:
but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
Jesus is the Christ, Son of the Most High, this is what they believed Jesus to be. but what your saying is they, the ones trained by the living Jesus, just didnt know and rather we should believe you.
Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth."
Dear Keiw, How is it that you do not understand that the SON created "ALL Things"???
Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth."
John 1:1-3 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
Through Him/WordSon all things were made, and without Him/WordSon nothing was made that has been made."
HE/JESUS is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
For by Him/Jesus all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers.
All things were created through Him/Jesus/Son/Word and for Him.
And HE/SON/WORD is before all things, and in HIM/SON/WORD all things consist.
And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
Colossians 1:15-18
No, that commandment says "You shall have no other gods before me", i.e. you shall have no other gods that you consider to be greater than YHWH, or above or in front of YHWH. Believing that Jesus is YHWH's son who now has the same divine nature as YHWH, and that YHWH has given Jesus all authority in heaven and earth (Matthew 28:18), is not putting Jesus before YHWH. YHWH refers to Jesus as a god (but he is not breaking His own commandment!):Since your heart contends that Jesus is "a god", then you have more than one god which places you in violation of "You shall have no other gods before Me" (Exodus 20:3).

Hebrews 1:8-13 (WEB):
(8) But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom.
(9) You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”
(10) And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
(11) They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.
(12) You will roll them up like a mantle, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years will not fail.”
(13) But which of the angels has he told at any time, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?”
John 17:1-5 (WEB):
(1) Jesus said these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;
(2) even as you gave him authority over all flesh, so he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.
(3) This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
(4) I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.
(5) Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.
It is just like the type of Joseph in the Old Testament. Joseph (symbolic of Jesus) was given all authority in Egypt (symbolic of the whole world), only Pharaoh (symbolic of God) was above him. Genesis 41:38-45 (WEB):
(38) Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?”
(39) Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one so discreet and wise as you.
(40) You shall be over my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only in the throne I will be greater than you.”
(41) Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
(42) Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck.
(43) He made him ride in the second chariot which he had. They cried before him, “Bow the knee!” He set him over all the land of Egypt.
(44) Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without you shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”
(45) Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-Paneah [meaning "God speaks, and He lives" according to some Egyptologists]; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On as a wife. Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
Luke 6:12 (WEB):Has the LIGHT gone on yet = Jesus never prayed to YHWH, never asked about YHWH and never told anyone to worship YHWH except HIMSELF and the FATHER.
Where does it say that in the Bible? You're making up "YHWH the SON", "Elohim SON" and "Elohim HOLY SPIRIT", teaching there are three Gods.JESUS is YHWH ...
The Eternal Elohim FATHER sent HIS Eternal Elohim SON (who emptied Himself and became flesh) so that the Eternal Elohim HOLY SPIRIT can be given to those who love YHWH the SON.
Luke 6:12 (WEB):
(12) In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.
Luke 4:8 (WEB):
(8) Jesus answered him, “Get behind me Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’”where Jesus was quoting Deuteronomy 6:13 (WEB):
(13) You shall fear Yahweh your God; and you shall serve him, and shall swear by his name.
Where does it say that in the Bible? You're making up "YHWH the SON", "Elohim SON" and "Elohim HOLY SPIRIT", teaching there are three Gods.
this comes from a translation hundreds of years after Jesus. which way did Jesus say to write "theos"?Let's examine the Apostle John's words "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1, in Greek "Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ Λόγος, καὶ ὁ Λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν Θεόν, καὶ Θεὸς ἦν ὁ Λόγος").
POINT 1: significance of "the God, and God" in Greek.
Of the three clauses in John 1:1, the transition between the 2nd and 3rd clause is "τὸν θεόν, καὶ θεὸς" which is word-for-word English as "the God, and God".
John knew of the commandant . . . .because John would not violate the commandment.
I am not interested in discussing any other scripture with you until you explain why you twisted Philippians 2:11.i just gave you Isaiah 45:21-22 = where YHWH says every knee will bow before Him and every tongue confess to Him.
Now look and SEE = "Therefore God/Elohim Father exalted Him to the highest place
and gave Him the Name above all names, that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord(Yahweh/YHWH),
to the glory of God(Elohim) the Father."
Have you not read Hebrews and Revelation where every knee and tongue in Heaven is bowing, confessing and worshiping the LORD Jesus Christ.
"And now, Father, glorify Me with Yourself with the glory I had with You before the world existed."
Read the Gospel of John and pray to escape the false religions that do not know Jesus Christ as LORD.
And anyone that scoffs in unbelief does not know the LORD nor have the Holy Spirit to SEE in the Scriptures what it plainly declares.
I am not interested in discussing any other scripture with you until you explain why you twisted Philippians 2:11.
